The Kwanzaa Bot is here to protect me.

I felt the same way, to the point where I couldn't even play anymore because I was so bored. And it kept teaching me mechanics which were super obvious and I couldn't skip the tutorials.

So basically they learned nothing from what people hated about Dream Team.

And somehow, that looked like a better game than what they have now.

i just saw warcraft. who ever compared it to battlefield earth was saying the truth. I mean the action looked pretty good at points. but i didnt get any of it(never played warcraft) and my gf didnt like it and is a fan of the games. so who the gently caress was it trying to appeal to?

the action was ok. but the rest was boring(and i love talking/drama but this was shite) I didn't understand jack about the lore, except the basic story line, and then it kinda just ends resolving nothing with a sequel bate ending.

My grandpa and grandma saw the new Alice in Wonderland movie this weekend because they really enjoyed the first one and they were disappointed. My grandma says that not even Johnny Depp can save a movie that is otherwise bad.

edit: My counterpoint was The Lone Ranger, which they acknowledged would have been crap without Depp there, and they said there were exceptions to every rule. This has nothing to do with video games but I just thought I'd mention because I feel like I need to do something with this information

Apparently it's just not entertaining and the humor parts weren't very funny. I guess there are only so many times Johnny Depp can say something wacky and then they cut to Alice bein like "wuh??" before it gets old.

While we're talking about movies, I watched that recent Godzilla on Netflix, and man, centering the emotional core of the film and POV on a charisma vacuum soldierman was such a bad decision. I'd heard people complain about this before but I just couldn't believe how little I cared about this character and his stupid wife and child, and framing almost everything in the film through their eyes completely drained the excitement that the amazing cinematography and cool giant monsters should've generated. It's nost just the one boring soldier, either, there's plenty of scenes where you're supposed to give a crap about military people who shouldn't be doing anything but yelling "Look out! Fire!" or arguing with scientists.

It honestly almost feels like someone took a perfectly good Godzilla script centering around two scientists and decided to insert some pro-military garbage in it. Bryan Cranston can't be the lead, his soldier son will do all the work! Why would some random rear end soldier be needed for this? Uhhh he has... bomb... disarming... powers.

There's even a few scenes where the general, who really should be a huge rear end in a top hat to strengthen the script and create some character drama, goes out of his way to show he's a nice guy.

I'm back from the anime convention and I have photos and stories to show and tell some good some bad but I am too tired to go into it right now. I had a good time and I hope everybody else was able to have a fun saturday as well, especially if it was as fun a saturday as I had.

I do want to share this though. There was a lady there who sings and plays guitar, and she was taking requests for which of her songs to play and I ended up hearing this thing

That's just an old recording but it's the same song so whatevs

I liked the 15 min godzilla was on screen, the story was dumb but so are most of the godzilla movies. yeah cranston should have been the main character.

I have a video games question.

Splatoon spoiled me with the gamepad, and now I never want to aim with joysticks ever again in a shooter. Does PS4 have any motion control controllers, and do they work with Overwatch?

BOSS BATTLES DID NOTHING WRONG
The PS4 controller is capable of the same gyro controls as the Wii U gamepad I'm pretty sure, it's just that no one supports that in-game.

But I think I read somewhere that people have set up the Steam controller to let you do that on PC, so... that's sort of an option lol

But probably not what you're looking for :-[

I saw The Conjuring 2, which has some good gotcha moments and direction. James Wan is pretty good at what he does from a technical standpoint.

The story and themes are kind of irritating though. Moreso even than the first one it's a big congratulatory jerkfest for the Warrens that treats its subject matter as something sacred. Like it's just too long (well over 2 hours) and overblown and self-serious.

I keep saying the Warrens would work better as a pair of awkward true believers with a real desire to help people. Instead, they've got the same problem as Rey, where the movie is trying so hard to tell me how awesome and great they are, but instead they come across as turds. Turds!

I'm tired, but can't force myself to sleep because there are bed bugs in this apartment. They seem to have gotten worse after the first treatment they did, probably tons of eggs hatching and the neighbors having moved out mean im priority target.

Thank goodness for Total War Warhammer to gently caress around in until i get too tired to care.

Sorry to hear about you waking up via seizure, I imagine you've learned some tricks to dealing with the after effects so hopefully you'll be reoriented and ready for more gaming soon!

I'm sorry that you are dealing with bed bugs. A couple years back my fiancee and I were living in a horrid apartment that was just absolutely infested with them and the landlord was absolutely too stupid to understand what the exterminators were telling her to do. They'd tell her that everybody would have to pack their things up into bags and then they'd drop chemical strips into them (in addition to spraying and powdering the rooms themselves) and that this would be a lengthy process, and the landlord kept hearing this and believing it meant "ah so I just have to put my stuff in a bag for a couple days and they'll die, alright" because she couldn't comprehend that bed bugs lived pretty much everywhere

Thanks. It is unfortunate that it happened but I'm extremely fortunate to have a loving and caring person who knows what to do in case I have a seizure.

I'm excited for e3 too, I love e3, I am just legitimately excited when I see stage shows and presentations and stuff because yeah some of it is boring and dumb and awkward but I like technology unveiling stuff
